In the pay-in and pay-outs list, you can book pay-ins and pay-outs without direct connection to an invoice or a reservation.
Pay-Ins are when cash is collected on the business floor in an ad hoc manner, pay-Outs are when cash from the business floor is distributed to somebody.
Some examples for using petty cash include the following: paying the postal carrier the 30 cents due on a letter being delivered, reimbursing an employee $10 for supplies purchased, or paying $18 for bakery goods delivered for a an early morning meeting. The bookings can be done for various accounts.
For example, if cash is taken out of the hotel cash register, the amount will be booked as a withdrawal for the respective account. At the same time, you can accept pay-ins for each account. This enables you to manage the cash on hand for various accounts in the hotel.
Each booking (pay-in or pay-out) is given its own voucher number. The voucher with which the system is to start, can be managed via: System data > My property > Voucher number. learn more!
The active list shows you all of the booked pay-ins and pay-outs for a certain day or period of time.
